Advice please, 245 master cylinder and brake calipers
Hi all,
My 1979 245 has a brake problem and I'm not sure how to troubleshoot it. On the brake tester, the two front brakes are fine but at the rear, one brake is lightly locked on, the other brake does nothing at all.
My mechanic would like to replace the master cylinder and the two rear calipers with new units, which would be a bit pricey. Is it an easy job to remove the old ones and clean them up with new seals and o-rings?
Since the master cylinder does work well on the front brakes, is it likely to be faulty? Perhaps I could just do the rear calipers.
How would I know what would be the correct part, should I decide on new replacements? There seem to be many different models for my car. e.g. ABS, Ridex, Stark, Bosch and more.
Many thanks to you experts for any pointers
Peter
